REVIEW OF AUDIOBOOK ABSOLUTE POWER BY D. BALDACCI

Absolute Power is available for the first time Unabridged on CD in an all-new recording by Scott Brick, the first of the blockbuster thrillers by New York Times bestselling author David Baldacci. The book that will change the way you think about Washington - and power - forever.

In a heavily guarded mansion in a posh Virginia suburb, a man and a woman start to make love, trapping a burglar behind a secret wall. Then the passion turns deadly, and the witness is running into the night. Because what he has just seen is a brutal slaying involving the president of the United States.

Luther Whitney is the career break-in artist who's in the wrong place at the wrong time. Alan Richmond is the charming U.S. president with the power to commit any crime. And Jack Graham is the young attorney caught in a vortex between absolute truth and... ABSOLUTE POWER

David Baldacci lives with his family in Virginia. He and his wife have founded the Wish You Well Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting literacy efforts across America. He invites you to visit him at www.david-baldacci.com and his foundation at www.wishyouwellfoundation.org, and to look into its program to spread books across America at http://www.feedingbodyandmind.com/.

My Thoughts-

This is the first book by David Baldacci that I have listened to and it will not be the last. Scott Bricks narration was wonderful and you were able to hear the emotions of the characters in his voice. I listened to the story while on the treadmill and before I knew it I had walked three miles. The book has it all deceit, suspense, and the plot and character development was great. The bonus short story No Time Left was good and interesting. I just won a copy of the Audiobook, True Blue and I am eager to listen to it. Mr. Baldacci will not let you down.
